Attempt to Wreck a Train.

An attempt was made at Northboro
Mass, to wreck passenger train from
Boston, on the Old Colony railroad.
Seven sleepers had been wedged in be-
tween and across the rails, half mile
above the station, bat tAe ice and snow
on the track caused them TO slide along
ahead of the engine. The footprints IN
the snow showed that the attempt was

ENGLISH TORIES pretend to derive COM
fort from the comparative inaction of the
Liberal members of Parliament. The
chief motive of their real chagrin, which
is thinly yelled by the pretense of ex-
alation, is that the existing situation de-
prives them ofsthe chance tie fill the pris-
ons with Home Rule commoners, and thus
deplete the opposition benches. Glad
stone and ParneH are too wise to play
the game of their enemies. The treat
ment of O'Brien and Sullivan, the expos
ure of the cold cruelty of Clanrlcarde,
the sudden timidity and vacillation OF
Balfour with respect to those not yet
i. his clutches, on the one hand, and his
gross violations of prison laws and regu-
Iations with respect to the late Lord
Mayor of Dublin, on the other, make up
a catalogue of wrongs that have !rrevoca
bly fixed the determination of the ma
jority of British voters to overthrow
Salisbury at the first opportunity. Bal
tours fangs will be drawn when the par
liamentary recess expires, and until then
the Liberals can we'll afford to bide their
time,

IT is a remarkable fact that the Nor
mons are submitting so peacefully to the
seizure of the church property by the
United States. Marshal Dyer not only
took possession to the temple at Salt
Lake City without the aid of soldiers
but he Immediately received offers from
the church authorities to hire the temple.
A lease was made out, and religious SER
vices are now being regularly held there.

A CHARLESTON Is. O. company have
spent nearly million in cotton mills
but they are about upon the point OF
abandoning the undertaking, as they are
unable to secure operatives. For some
unexplained reason the white working
men of Charleston do not care to hire
out to cotton mill owners. It is propos-
ed, therefore, to try the experiment. OF
EMPLOYING negroes, which means the
withdrawal of the white hands now at
work. Negroes are not engaged IN any
of the cotton mills of the South mainly,
we assume, because they are needed as
field hands. The innovation of colored
operatives will be watched with interest.
THE speech of Sir Adolphe Caron, the
Dominion minister of militia, on the sub
iect of commercial union with the United
States, will receive a good deal of atten-
ton, as he is the only cabinet officer who
has broken the silence of the government
on that issue. Commercial union in his
estimation meant annexation, and this
the Canadians did not want. This IS
rather a surprising assertion, IN view or
the active canvass of the commercial
unionists in the Dominion of late with
view of forcing it upon the fisheries COM
mission. It is pretty evident that the
Canadians are not ready yet to formulate
a commercial policy to meet this present
crisis. Even if there were, it is long
road from formulation to mutual adopt

The genuine fogy who doesn't advertise at

had to take the place Of newspapers half a
century or more ago, they must do so still;
but the intelligent, practical, progressive
business man who didn't happen to have a

Since the day after my marriage, when

A minute later the bell in the next
house jingled q warning to the inmates,
and a pretty little girl came to the door.
After a brief parley with the visitor che
ran back into the sitting-room and ex-
claimed:
"Mamma, here's An Irish boy after our
cat"
"Bring him in, Alice" said the child's
mother.
As Mickey stood under the radiant chan
delier in the sitting room. with his eyes
dazzled by the light, and his tattered hat
in bis hand, there was q CLEAN of white
fur in the air, and the lost cat Lit upon his
shoulder aud began to rub her damp nose
against his face. Mickey clasped her in
his arms and buried his face in her soft
fur. Then he unbuttoned his vest and
placed her snugly against his bosom, with
only her head out between the buttons.
He looked around toward the door, and
had made a step in that direction, when
HIS native manliness restrained him.

been watching the little drama with
moist eyes, II amt got on'y 40 cents in

away wild me I'll bring ye tn rest o. de

Drawing the iron safe from his pocket,
Mickey dumped its contents out upon the
marble top table and edged toward the
door, for if his offer had been refused he
would have run. The lady gathered up
the pennies from the table and replaced
them in the bank, together with a liberal
addition from her own pocket, and handed
the safe back to him, saying:
"If / had known the cat was yours, /
should not have bought it."
How Mickey found his way out into the
street he could not tell, but when he came
to his senses he wa running down the
Old Point road yelling like . Comanche
Indian.
When Mrs. Finn went into her sons
room next morning to wake him che saw
his pet curled up in a little heap on his
pillow.
